New Delhi: India's top intelligence agencies - Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) - carried out the operation to arrest Indian Mujahideen co-founder Yasin Bhatkal and his key aide Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi. With the actual detention was carried out by the Intelligence Bureau, the Research and Analysis Wing provided technical inputs.
Yasin Bhatkal and Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi, who were detained from the India-Nepal border in Bihar on Wednesday night, were then handed over to the Bihar Police as intelligence agencies in India don't have the powers to arrest. The duo has been taken to Bettiah in Bihar. To make sure that the man they have arrested is Yasin Bhatkal, security agencies have decided to collect the DNA of his family members and match them with his samples.
Yasin Bhatkal's arrest is very crucial as he was on the hit-list of the all the major security agencies and police forces of the country. According to security experts, Bhatkal's free run so far was foremost the lack of a national database on criminals or terror suspects.
Along with the arrest of Abdul Karim Tunda, a key Lashkar-e-Toiba bomb maker, the security agencies have managed to deal a major blow to anti-India terror groups backed by Pakistan.
